loud ringer

[doogie63]

How do I turn up ringer on this thing?? I just got this phone about 2 weeks ago and have missed countless phone calls because I can not hear the ringer. I have it set for loudest setting. Plus on volume I click for phone and max it out, but as soon as I go back to volume control it back to middle. I did the reg hack and set it at "1" which suppose to start off loud. They said "2" would make it slowly getter louder as it rings. Is there anything else I'm missing beside phone calls?? lol Help!! Thanks!!
